Hello. I have an HTC One S with Cyanogenmod 11S installed. I came to CM from HTC Sense 5 and backed up all application data with Online Nandroid Backup and Helium. I also have an HTC keyboard dictionary file (*.htcudb). So after changing Android versions I successfully restored all my application data with Helium. But cannot restore user dictionary and SMS database.
When I select SMS in Helium, it starts the restore procedure but no old SMS messages appear in SMS app.
The Keyboard dictionary file is invisible for standard keyboard at all. It just keeps saying "No user dictionary found in Downloads folder" or similar.
Is there any solution for these two things? Thank you!

Any app in Android can restore contact from PIMBackup backup file
have some problem with u, n i wasn't found any application to convert that file..
(i want migrating from winmo to android)
try this way, (sorry i can't write link in this forum coz newbie)
search on google with key "sprite mobile" (migrating contact,messaging,log call data)
it's like PIM backup on winmo
Hello,
I had solved the problem by
- deleting exchange account on winmo iphone
- setting up my gmail account as imap in winmo
- sync contacts etc. Between phone and gmail account
- using the gmail account w/ my new android device.
You can find some guides w/ a google search about how Toso configure gmail with winmo.

I just moved from WinMo to android and faced the same situation.
I first made a fresh PIM backup in case anything went sour. I setup activesync to sync with gmail (Google has a step by step tutorial that's based on WinMo 6.1 but it's fairly easy to figure out) This is where things can go sour, like doubling of contacts or appointments. If all goes well you'll have everything in your gmail account (it might take a while though).
If you have any pocket notes, and aren't synced with Outlook, you'll need to manually copy and paste them into OneNote Mobile. Then copy them to your desktop and open them in One Note.
use Sprite Mobile
i was successfuly transfer all contact and their field, messaging and call history

Or, try this.
1. Open PIM Backup on your Windows Mobile device. Select the Backup action and unselect everything but contacts, then hit Next.
2. At the "Select backup filename and folder" screen, unselect the "compress backup" and "binary backup" options, then hit Next.
3. Transfer the BACKUP.PIB file that you just made from your phone to your computer. Change the extension from .PIB to .RAR, then extract the file.
4. The extracted file should be BACKUP.CSC. Simply change the extension to .CSV and import the file to your gmail account. All your contacts can now be imported to your phone through gmail - just follow the instructions given in the phone's contact menu.
or activesync with google http://www.google.com/support/mobile...&answer=138636
Hi
As a noob to android, I wanted to ask step by step converting winmo PIM backup file to android. Which includes migrating contacts, messages, log call data etc)
Is this doable. Can any one advice. PLZ.
Thanks in advance.
Hi, i have a HTC HD2 running WM - Energy ROM and Android - Core Droid HD V0.2 and i want to use my contacts in Android.
I did as Dblfstr said, but the file i got from PIMBackup was contacts_20101206.pbc
I use PIM Backup v2.8.0.0
I did not mark "compress backup" and "binary backup" but still the file is some how binary and it shows garbage when opened by an editor.
Does somebody have another solution to this problem?
ThX!
forget about using pimbackup,i already tried everything and did nothing...
try using outlook,simply export the contacts to CSV and import them in google
or send them via bluetooth (for those who have 2 devices)
there were quite a few contacts that were saved on my phones internal memory before i switched to android. Unaware of these contacts, and unaware of proper procedure to restore the pim backup once android was up and running. I created the standard backup with compression enabled and all default specifications. Can I restore the contacts with the default pimbackup method?
thanks

I have the same problem in that I didn't know about the compression. Is there any way to uncompress and will I be able to restore text messages as I'm not really worried about call logs, emails and contacts?
EDIT: I found the solution here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12975806&postcount=13
Hey all,
Since the backup and restore apps from the market are horrifically slow, would manually backing up the SQLite database for Call logs, SMS, MMS and Contacts (the four categories I wish to backup and restore) be the way to go?
More specifically, do the Android 2.1 and Android 2.3 SQLite respective database's (for the categories above) parse the same?

How can I save or backup text messages from the phone?
believe there is a way to send them all to your sd card if im not mistaken.
Go to Messages, then press menu and then press "Back Up SMS", change the file name if you want and then click OK. Done
not sure if what kevinliu said applies to all roms since ive only used arhd 3.6.X roms but this app is what i used during my htc hero days and its always worked perfectly
sms backup and restore

You can use the offical back up function as kevinliu2336 said, but this back up can not be read by human or other rom, it can only be restored in HTC sense based roms.
My solution? code.google.com/p/android-sms/downloads/list
But when I search for what I'm using, I find a better one market.android.com/details?id=com.zegoggles.smssync, I haven't verified this one, though
I use the backup function in GO SMS, it seems to be the fastest and has correct time stamps. I used SMS backup and restore but had incorrect dates.
GO sms is a good option, it has even automatic backup feature. I also sometimes use an app called "MyBackup" for sms/mms backup and restore. The "SMS Backup and Restore" app works as well more or less, but it mixed up the threads somehow for me, so some apps showed all messages in a conversation as incoming. Although it uses XML for the backup, so you can read the backups with other apps/tools.

The second choice, SMS backup+, I have tried, it is in fact a upgrade for the first one, they all back up you messages to your gmail, but with SMS backup+, you can also back up MMS and even call logs! And you can restore them in any device only if this app is installed and supported!
I want to be able to save Android SMS text messages off of my Android. Is there any way I can do that? I have over 10000 sms in this database. Thanks!.

There is app "SMS Backup and Restore" on Play Store. You can use it to backup your texts and copy it your PC.
This software can either backup and restore SMS and can backup and restore Contacts, very handy. I've been using and strongly recommend you to use.
OR You can search " obbosoft " in google......

In China, we backup the SMS and contact with several software before flash a new Room
I feel that AST android sms transfer can help you backup and restore all you text messages.
Search "obbosoft or apolsoft" in google.....
They all can solve your problem.
Google sync would be a good option.can be found in ACCOUNTS&SYNC under settings.
Simply add account and sync.after flash sync again.

I chose OBBO Android SMS & Contacts Backup It allows me to transfer and backup your SMS messages & Contacts between android phone and desktop computer.
sms backup + or sms backup & restore from google play. FREE!
Sms backup
SMS Backup & restore work very well.
It create a directory on your SD. copy it on new phone, than select restore.
I will recommend Android Manger to you that all of your texts will be on the cloud. The service has a PC application that will have all your messages on both your PC, Android and cloud. If you change PC or phones just re-install the application and all your texts are back. Plus you can text from your PC using this application as well.
Android Manager
Using apps to save SMS on your phone, and then transfer them to your computer? The way I see it, this is not so good a choice. Why not use some program on your PC and transfer the text messages from your Android to it directly?
Because if you also save it to your MicroSD card you have another backup in case the PC backup doesn't work. Nothing wrong with redundant backups. I also back mine up to my Dropbox account.
Thanks for valuable information.And after my test,I found android assistant tool can make it easily.
Another way is to use Google SMS backup&restore.
Hi. I backed up keyboard user dictionary form Nexus 5 but after enabling sync on Galaxy 7 nothing happens. No account prompt, no sync, no dictionary
For somebody managed to restore user dictionary?
Same issue here. Haven't found a fix yet.
I use SQLite debug application to move google keyboard dictionary between phones. Search User Dictionary application. Get the user_dict.db file. Backup to SDcard1. Restore this in another phone.
